Poem
She knew that he was leaving They had a baby on the way He’d definitely miss the delivery, Most likely the 1st birthday He knows that she’s a fighter She’d have to do this one on her own He was leaving to fight a war, flying out today He’d call her when he could, He would write her everyday , But most of all he’d pray to God That if anything - she’d be forever safe We do what we have to do To live life, to love We’ll always fight for freedom So the world is safe for us And the love of our family Let’s pray to God each day, That he will always keeps us - forever safe The letters, they kept arriving They made her laugh and cry and weep She’d read each one again out loud Every night before she’d sleep Then there’d be a note just for the baby Words of love sent from his daddy Telling him one day soon, Soon, they would meet After each letter she’d kneel and pray, To God and the Heavens above Please God, if anything, please keep him safe We do what we have to do To live life, to love We’ll always fight for freedom So the world is safe for us And the love of our family Let’s pray to God each day, That he will always keeps us - forever safe He shouted words of love and encouragement Through a static phone line that was fading out, He could hardly hear, with the explosions all around She cursed him like a sailor , She pushed while screaming out his name He said, I know that you’re a fighter Fight now and give him life In the heartbeat of a second, The world went silent - all around No more static on the phone line and He heard the new life of his son cry out A son and a soldier cried together A mother and a wife was in between She said, my nose, your eyes And he’s a fighter like his daddy So, fight and come home, there’s someone you gotta meet Just promise me, you’ll keep yourself – safe We do what we have to do To live life, to love We’ll always fight for freedom So the world is safe for us And the love of our family Let’s pray to God each day, That he will always keeps us - forever safe
